Nov. 8 (Bloomberg) -- The Polish antitrust regulator, known
as UOKiK, cleared joint ventures of Exxon Mobil Corp. and Hutton
Energy Plc. to explore for shale gas in Poland, the watchdog
said in an e-mailed statement.

Under a deal signed in August, Exxon will transfer 49
percent stakes in four exploration licences in Poland’s Podlasie
basin to Hutton.
